David Arthur McComb, 63, Whitewater, lost his life in an accident while doing what he loved; working on the farm while listening to music on his headphones.

David was born on October 2, 1956 in
Pittsburgh, PA to Arthur and Vera (Lynd) McComb. He served his
country in the United States Coast Guard and later received his
Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture from Penn State University.
David married Barbara Jane Arnold on April 28, 1984 in Bethlehem,
PA. He and Barb moved to Whitewater in 1988 to live on the Lynd
family farm. David worked for Associated Spring Company in Milwaukee
for 23 years. Of the many projects he was involved in, the making of
springs for the Mars rover and the Webb Space Telescope were the
most notable. He and Barb owned and operated Amramp of SE Wisconsin
since 2016. David enjoyed running Amramp and helping others to
maintain their independence. He is remembered by his family for his
strong family values, smile, love of laughter and his quiet manner.
He was a wonderful example of father and husband to all the men in
the family.

A private graveside service with
military honors will be held at Hillside Cemetery, Whitewater. A
celebration of David’s life will be held on the family farm later
in the fall. The family would like to thank the Walworth County
Sheriff’s Department and the City of Whitewater Rescue Squad for
their service.
